Tonight after dinner we headed to the MDA office to help put together a tribute for Mike Bush. Mike was at our house just a year ago right after we received Andrew's diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. He interviewed our family for a piece that was part of the MDA Labor Day Telethon. The 2012 telethon ended up being the last year for News Channel 5's broadcast :(
Several families and people living with muscular dystrophy gathered together to say thanks to Mike for ALL that he has done throughout the years to raise awareness and help the MDA. We have only been a part of the MDA family for a short time, but have been overwhelmed by the amount of support. Mike Bush is a HUGE ambassador for the MDA and will be greatly missed as the face of St. Louis helping to bring the much-needed awareness to the community for these deadly diseases. It was great to have the chance to meet Mike and work one-on-one with him. Andrew talks about Mike still and can't believe that someone we see on TV all of the time was at our house!!
